Samsung Electroics Co. Ltd. is currently addressing 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit. Such a focused prosecution profile suggests that this specific portfolio segment is currently limited to a single active application. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit implies that the technology being patented falls within a very specific classification at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the company is NGUYEN, CHAN T H, who is overseeing the 1 pending office action. Prosecution is currently limited to this single examiner and art unit combination, with no other pending actions distributed across the office. Since the busiest examiner is only managing 1 pending office action, there is no current evidence of broader prosecution activity for this particular entity name. This singular focus means that the immediate future of the company's patent rights in this area depends on the interactions with this examiner.
